As we found our seats in the back of the lecture hall—hiding as best we could that an interloper was among the crowd—we took possession of two deep chairs that were surely the root of Everett Lounge’s name. Forgetting for a moment that this was a Teachers College workshop I got right to work as Arlène Casimir-Siar took […]

As I stated a few weeks ago on onedrawingaday.com I at one time thought my collegiate career could bring me to Columbia University to pursue writing. Those were the days that the New York City Ivy league school seemed attainable. Well, almost attainable. OK, not really, but it certainly did—and still does—warrant the respect that made the […]

I am honored to be included on this year’s shortlist for the World Illustration Awards in the book category. This project was a few years in the making and became more personal than I ever imagined. If you are in London between June 6-20 please stop but the Somerset House and see this years winners. Now how […]

I watched as the trucks arrived and the crew set up for the day. Having no idea how long it takes to dismantle and drop a 70 foot tall maple tree, I set up surveillance to track the progress. Spys were keeping me informed and the sounds of “The Chipper” alerted me to the momentum of […]

Sitting on a table, adjacent to my drawing board, is a small tome of little consequence to the outside world. Thus far only a few copies exist. As I have written and posted about on One Drawing a Day over the past few years I have been documenting the daily grind of a flexographic pressman in the state […]

As soon as I got done with the title sequence for Photographic Memory, Dustin Clingan asked me to create two bumpers for the production credits that he wanted to roll before the short. Neither had an existing logo and there wasn’t the time to create them so I opted for some classic type treatments and ambient […]

The titles of these posts are getting a little campy, but it’s late and I lean towards the irreverent when trying to discuss myself. Days later I am discussing months later. Does that matter? Probably not. Who knows how you got here. Maybe I asked you to witness this, maybe you stumbled upon it. I am […]

Studio 1482 has had great success with our One Drawing A Day book based on our daily blog so I was excited when Veronica asked me to contribute to the third volume of an Urban Sketchers reportage series she was working on for Quarry. Last year, long after turning in the work she requested and after I had nearly forgotten about the book […]

A while back in the midst of The Neighbor titles I had a chance to work on a small project for a drone pilot out in LA. Wolfgang Weber is an actor and aerial cinematographer who has been growing is business and wanted a bumper for the end of his video reel. We kept it mostly abstract and […]

Taking stock of all that happened last year, one project refilled the well with the unexpected. On the heals of the Mystic show I jumped at the chance to return to one of my formative creative passions and see if it still caused the same sparks it always had. Long ago, before I knew how much I didn’t know, all […]
